well i just got a 200gal acrylic tank off of eBay and going to go pick it up tomorrow and im not sure of what i want to put into it i currently have a 135 with a couple sa,ca and african cichlids a 125 with nothing a 65 with some polys and a IT Dat a 75 octagon with a juerenes cat and a couple other odd ball fish a 55 salt water tank a 45 octagon with a female flowehorn 65 with a few bachardies and a frontosa a 35 with some tetras and i just dont now what to put in it i would like something of a big community type tank with some large non aggressive type fish or im kind of thinking maybe some more polys. but if you guys could maybe post some pics of some fish that you think would be good
 
How about making it a river tank of loaches and barbs? I have arulius and tiger barbs with my aggressive loaches. The tank is heavily tainted with tannins from driftwoods but they really like their home.:)
 
you said you already have cichlids, but why not just do another cichlid tank...maybe a tank with large haps, maybe some Paratilapia as well
 
That’s actually what im kind of leaning tords Paratilapia Bleekeri Maralambo and some Paratilapia Polleni is their any other tilapia types I could get and how is their aggression.
 
Piranhas or cats, if you want my opinion
 
10 RED BELLY PIRAHNAS!!!
that would be the sweetest tank ever!!!
just 10 rbp's driftwood, black gravel some fake plants and a black background that would be a beautiful show tank!!!!!

I'd stick with the Paratilapia of your choice, maybe have other Madagascar cichlids in there with them. Those calico damba look pretty nice, and contrast in color well with the para's for a nice display
